When the Dead Still Call novel Chapter 310

The Burgh They Ever Preak

Chapter 310: The Mystery Guest Appears

Vincent’s heart sank even deeper, weighed down by a crushing sense of despair. The thought of having to appear on the show was daunting, but the only silver lining was the chance to see Amelia once more, even if their encounter would be brief. That small hope was the only thing keeping him from feeling utterly defeated.

Meanwhile, the livestream chat was ablaze with biting remarks.

“Look at Mr. Dester! His face says he just swallowed something awful.”

“Anyone would think Gianna dragged him here at knifepoint. He looks like he’d rather be anywhere else but here!”

“And they still pretend to be the perfect couple? Gotta admire that girl’s shamelessness.”

The barrage of cruel comments cut through the air like arrows, relentlessly targeting the pair. Despite the negativity, Vincent knew that any kind of attention was still attention—fame, even if it was bad, was still fame.

At last, the final solo guest made his entrance: Miguel.

Though it was Miguel’s debut on a variety show, his upbringing in a prestigious family had exposed him to far grander events throughout his life. As a result, he barely felt a flicker of nervousness. Instead, he brimmed with quiet confidence, convinced he would outshine everyone else with his refined manners and polished demeanor.

There was simply no competition.

After all, Miguel hailed from one of the top-tier households and had been groomed with the finest education since childhood. This was his moment to shine, to showcase the qualities that set him apart.

He wanted Marcelo, Maxwell, and even his parents and elders to witness that he was nothing like the reckless Maxwell.

More than that, Miguel believed he could not only take great care of Gianna but also reshape the public’s image of the Nygard Group and the distinguished Nygard family.

For this special appearance, he had carefully selected a sleek yet understated outfit: a crisp white shirt paired with black dress pants. To add a touch of casual sophistication, he rolled his sleeves neatly up to his forearms.

This small detail gave him a clean-cut, competent look—the kind of effortless charm that spoke of success and self-assurance.

On any ordinary show, this look might have been perfect. It was designed to catch the eye with its quiet elegance and subtle magnetism.

But Miguel had misjudged the setting entirely.

This was a show centered on pharmaceutical research, surrounded by herbs and plants—not a glamorous stage meant for flashy displays.

The director hadn’t even briefed them on what to expect next, leaving Miguel’s carefully crafted image out of place and vulnerable to criticism.

Almost immediately, the audience pounced.

“Did this guy walk onto the wrong set? His outfit sticks out like a sore thumb.”

“Maybe he’s just desperate to stand out—trying too hard to get noticed.”
